(video) Recomandări de la Mircea, fără spoilere: acum pe Netflix – cinci filme existențiale care te vor ajuta să înțelegi cine eștiCând eram copil, obișnuiam să cred că toate familiile sunt la fel, că au aceleași probleme, rutină și model de educație. Cu acest gând și pentru că totul începe din familie, am pregătit o listă de filme disponibile pe Netflix, despre cinci modele de familii disfuncționale și despre dificultățile cu care se confruntă acestea. O poveste profund personală, chiar înfricoșătoare, în care o femeie învață să trăiască purtând în suflet durerea unei pierderi copleșitoare. Prezentarea cu umor a unei lumi crude pe care o recunoști sau de care trebuie să te bucuri că n-a trebuit să o înfrunți. Boyhood este atât o capsulă nostalgică trecutului recent, cât și o odă adusă maturizării și educării unui copil.

The bigger Murdoch’s empire became, the more power he had to clear away obstacles to further its expansion.
